Guardian has partnered with BMO to offer the BMO Concentrated Global Equity Fund and BMO Concentrated Global Balanced Funds. Michael is the client portfolio manager, who is part of the investment management team and tasked with the role of meeting with clients to discuss the GuardCap investment philosophy. In this short Q&A session Michael gives his perspectives on their approach to picking global stocks, the benefits of active management, investing in the age of COVID, and using the principles of ESG as part of their investment process.
